SUMMARY:Research RT2: Strategic shift from Pay-Per-Seat -- to -- Outcome based services model
DESCRIPTION:As AI transforms technology delivery\, the traditional link between revenue\, effort\, and headcount is being fundamentally challenged. Productivity gains from AI-assisted development\, autonomous agents\, and reusable platforms are forcing service providers to rethink how value is priced\, measured\, and shared. This roundtable will explore the shift from labor-based billing to outcome-driven commercial models that reward speed\, quality\, innovation\, and business impact. Leaders will examine how technology services firms can capture the value created by AI\, redesign incentives across sales and delivery functions\, and navigate the financial\, operational\, and investor implications of this transition.\nKey Discussion Points: \n Moving beyond billable hours to outcomes such as business impact\, cycle-time reduction\, and reliability improvements Hybrid pricing models combining subscriptions\, consumption\, output-based fees\, and gain-sharing mechanisms Strategies for monetizing AI-driven productivity rather than passing benefits entirely through rate reductions Redefining KPIs from utilization and headcount growth to margin quality\, platform revenue\, and value delivered Balancing client expectations\, risk-sharing\, attribution\, and governance in outcome-linked contracts How AI is reshaping investor narratives from workforce scale to revenue quality\, reusable IP\, and intelligent delivery systems

SUMMARY:Redefining Service Delivery in the Orchestration Economy
DESCRIPTION:The services industry is entering a structural transformation as AI agents\, orchestration platforms\, and intelligent workflows reshape how work is delivered\, measured\, and scaled. Traditional people-centric delivery models are giving way to systems where humans\, AI agents\, and automation operate as coordinated teams focused on outcomes rather than effort. This keynote will explore how enterprises and service providers are redesigning delivery engines around orchestration\, creating new operating models that combine speed\, intelligence\, and accountability. The session will also examine the strategic implications for workforce design\, client engagement\, and competitive differentiation as services evolve into intelligence-led\, continuously optimized ecosystems.\n \nKey Discussion Points: Why the traditional pyramid-based services model is becoming unsustainable in the AI era The shift from SLAs and effort-based billing to outcome\, throughput\, and value-based delivery Designing agentic workflows that coordinate work across business and technology functions The emergence of AI Operations Control Rooms for monitoring\, governance\, and performance management How managed orchestration services are becoming a new growth category for service providers New workforce structures\, including AI supervisors\, orchestration architects\, and human-in-the-loop specialists Measuring productivity when AI agents perform a growing share of execution activities How leading organizations are building hybrid delivery models where human expertise and machine intelligence work together seamlessly\n
